He claims to have absolutely no idea where it is, have absolutely no idea when he last rode it and just looks vague when the conversation comes up.In the magazine rack?!
My son once left his at a football field - he forgot he'd gone out on it apparently. To be fair he'd probably smoked a joint in between though.
Could he have leaned it up outside a shop, or left it at a mates house? Hopefully the latter.
We thought it had been 'lost' on purpose, because we's suggested he might like to try riding to school, but he's asked if he can ride my bike to school tomorrow

Sold it for drugs/booze/panini stickers?
He's didn't like the one he had, so he's "lost" it.He claims to have absolutely no idea where it is, have absolutely no idea when he last rode it and just looks vague when the conversation comes up.

Then he asks to borrow yours to cycle to school
... then you [don't] say 'we'd better buy you another one, then' ... 
They're not complete nutters - just a lot more clever/ manipulative than we ever give them credit for ...

@Sara_H much as I hate to say this knowing what a wonderful bountiful loving relationship you have with his considerate, reasonable, angelic mother.... but... you know she did not likey the bikey to school suggestion, perhaps she really did not likey it and so sold said bike in order to make it an impossibility without sons knowledge (or even with in collusion with bribery for giving pennies hence the vagueness) ?

Well, yes he has vaguely said before that he thinks his Mum may have hidden it. But he has gone back to the 'lost' bike theory now. Maybe you're right.
Anyhow, she's sunning herself in the Grek Islands at the minute, so I can work my evil plan on him and get him riding!
And @Scoosh , he can bugger off if he thinks he's getting a shiny new machine - I've been looking whats available on ebay for less than a fiver!

It's obvious where a 14-year-old's bike would be - behind the bike sheds.

Son no.1, who's 13, has decided to 'acquire' my MTB. I'm happy as it was a cheap temporary purchase anyway. He's happy as he's got 'dad's bike'.
